of BookWhere learn the nuances of each database to take full advantage
of their search capabilities and available resources. Two
levels of batch searching are supported: basic and enhanced where
users can submit any number of searches across any number of databases. To
further assist in locating the highest quality records first, BookWhere
also includes unique heuristic record rating and scoring algorithms that
help users pinpoint the most complete bibliographic records. WebClarity
manages the largest shared directory of databases in the world (currently
2800+). BookWhere products are able to AutoSync with this central
directory for new additions and changes on a regular basis ensuring the
most timely and seamless access of any service. With AutoSync,
a BookWhere user is able to make full and productive use of the product
without any knowledge of the Z39.50 standard. Because BookWhere
allows users to add their own databases and define login details on any
database it is also possible to search specific subscription-only databases,
such as those provided by OCLC or ITS-MARC. The end result is a
consolidated search mechanism for all of your record sources, whether
shared or subscription.
BookWhere Online is a Web-based version of BookWhere. It is an
HTTP subscription service which users access via a standard Web browser
including those used on Mac platforms.
MARC Notepad is a MARC record editing package. It streamlines
global (bulk) editing of records through the use of macros. It

offers one of the nation's major resources for the study of economic sciences
and financial studies. The Ernesto Peltzer Library serves as the primary
library for the Central Bank of Venezuela. Its collection includes nearly
100,000 titles and serial volumes, and 1.453 rare books printed before
1850. It currently receives about 870 journals and serials and subscribes
20 databases with access to more than 15.730 journals in full text. The
information resources of the Peltzer Library exist primarily to serve the
research and instructional needs of the researchers of the Central Bank
of Venezuela. However, the library is open to the public including undergraduates,
graduates, and university faculty. The Peltzer Library has a number of
resources and services, ready to assist, including access to the electronic
library databases; computer-based as well as paper reserve materials; and
computers for use by staff as well as to the public. The
library provides access to its online catalog, electronic journals and
databases. It has developed the necessary infrastructure, using the new
technology to successfully provide information services ranging from telephone
assistance, online reference assistance and email assistance through
the Bank's website http://www.bcv.org.ve
The Peltzer Library considered using the Z39.50 search protocol in the
Gateway to enable a common user interface for bibliographic searching,
and to give users the option to search several online library catalogs
worldwide simultaneously. The
online library catalog processes queries from searching requests through the
Z39.50 service, once they are processed by the library's database, the system
replies to the Z39.50 client (available forms: Alejandría, MARC21
and XML)

Our product, RefTracker, is a request management system for libraries.
It accepts reference questions via the Internet, manages the response process
to ensure that questions are responded to within library defined objective
response times, develops a knowledge database of re-useable questions,
and maintains statistics designed to enable the library to justify the
resources required to staff their reference service. A Z39.50 compliant
server module is in development for RefTracker. Its purpose is to make
the RefTracker knowledge database Z39.50 compliant so that it can be searched
concurrently with the library management system, where libraries have implemented
both RefTracker and a Z39.50 compliant library management system. A web
based Z39.50 client called RefTracker Zgate is already available.

data publishing and retrieval portal, then look no further then Web Enterprise
Suite. It may consist of, depending on the version and configuration requirements,
any or all of the following Standards-based, Commercial Off-The-Shelf (SCOTS)
software components:
Meta Manager Z39.50
Meta Manager is an advanced metadata toolkit that provides metadata management.
It enables data providers to expose data collections and archives as Z39.50-compliant
servers for clearinghouse connectivity. It also supports multiple metadata
standards and provides data providers with the ability to define, map and
manage metadata content and to present this content in a number of formats
including XML.
Meta Miner Z39.50
Organizations can create their own information Clearinghouse. The application
includes a Z39.50 client that provides intuitive search specification fields,
a clearinghouse server registration module and clearinghouse server searching.
The client look and feel and operation is fully customizable and supports
XML processing.
Map Manager
A powerful OGC-compliant Internet mapping solution providing organizations
the ability to present, link, distribute and publish geomatics-based data,
products and services. Map Manager provides an advanced infrastructure for
users to access spatial information from disparate data sources and to display
the information in powerful, easy-to-use WWW browser client applications.
WES Portal
The WES Portal is a pre-configured portal that enables users to discover, view,
assemble and obtain desired data and services for a particular area of interest
without needing to know the details of how the data and services are stored
and maintained by independent organizations and data custodians.
Service Manager
A service registry that provides discovery, access, harvesting and maintenance
of Web-based services metadata. Service Manager architecture has been specifically
designed to be deployed in a multi-tier arrangement of clients and servers.
Discovery of services is provided through a stateless interface enabling
a client to locate service metadata quickly and effectively.

Alejandría Z39.50 is a tool that enhances the power of Alejandría:
a product which makes it easy to automate and introduce the most modern
technologies within libraries, educational institutions, research centers,
documentation centers and corporations. Alejandría Z39.50 provides
interoperability with heterogenous systems which are information publishers
and Z39.50 enabled. It is implemented using the Yaz Toolkit (Indexdata)
and the Alejandría API for Windows 98/2000/NT/XP. Further information
is available at http://alejandria.hacer.ula.ve/Z3950
Alejandría Z39.50 is implemented as client and server.
The client is an agent that uses the Alejandria web interface to perform
simultaneous search in several Z39.50 servers. An Alejandría
Z39.50 client is running at http://www.ciudad-alejandria.com/serverz.
This product turns an Alejandria client into a Z39.50 searcher.
Alejandria WorldLibrary is a new product that doesn't need the
Alejandria's platform. It is a universal Z39.50 client that uses a
web interface. It allows simultaneous query to multiple Z servers and
several user's sessions. It is available at http://alejandria.hacer.ula.ve/Z3950 as
a freeware.
The server is a module that uses the Alejandría search
engine to look for records. It can concurrently serve to several databases
. It receives the queries coming from Z39.50 clients and translates
them into Alejandría query language in order to search its databases.
When the records are received, they are translated to Z39.50 response
language (only Marc format) and they are sent to the clients. Two servers
are currently running: at www.ciudad-alejandria.com:9999 (bolivar,
revistaActual, lgula databases) and at www.saber.ula.ve:9999 (saber,
vereda databases).

The project is in the planning stages. We intend to host a Z39.50
server gateway for the Xreferplus reference database. Xreferplus is
a subscription-based online reference service. Our implementation will
make it possible to search for full text entries from the books we
host. Search features will include searching by entry headings and
keyword searching of the full text. Through database selection, results
can be obtained from the entire database or by selecting one of 21
broad catgeories like medicine or science, etc. Results records will
be available in USMARC, GRS-1, SUTRS and XML.

- ZooPARK - multiplatform
Z39.50 v.3 server (Windows NT/2K/XP/2K3, Linux, Solaris (x86,SPARC),
FreeBSD, SCO OpenServer), based on YAZ ToolKit (Index Data), with the
dynamic loaded data providers. Constructed on a block principle with
possibility of the extension by the additional data providers (as DLL
for Win32 or as Shared Objects for UNIX). The interface of the dynamic
data provider is open for development of additional modules by other
developers. In the current configuration the server contains modules
for access to various DBMS - providers of the data CDS/ISIS (Z-ISIS),
MS ADO (Z-MSADO), Text (ZEBRA), Remote Z39.50 (Z-REMOTE), MS SQL Server
(Z-MSSQL), MySQL Server (Z-MySQL), PHP and PERL applications (Z-SHELL).
Installed in assemblies of an information system of a one-type server
ZooPARK can derivate clusters with redistribution of retrieval inquiries.
The Z39.50 servers of other manufacturers also can be switched on in
similar clusters, but with the limited possibilities. The server provides
an information output in standard Z39.50 formats: SUTRS, GRS-1, USmarc,
unimarc, RUSmarc, and html, as well as locally registered RTF. The
server supports Explain categories TargetInfo, DatabaseInfo, SchemaInfo,
TagsetInfo, AttributeSetInfo, AttributeDetails.
ZooPARK includes also the WEB-server functioning in the same port,
that server Z39.50. The ZooPARK WEB-server provides access to usual
documents, supposes execution of scripts (PHP, PERL, etc.) and contains
the builtin gateway Z39.50-HTTP (Z-GW).
Now server Z39.50 is accessible at addresses:
z3950.uiggm.nsc.ru:210 bases = (bib-1): geocat,geotrn,geocrf
z3950.uiggm.nsc.ru:210 bases = (zthes): grefth,inisth,gemet,agrvc,dewey,
e.a.
Now server WWW and gateway Z39.50-HTTP is accessible at addresses: http://z3950.uiggm.nsc.ru:210

MuseGlobal has developed a multi-protocol broadcast search environment
system called Muse, which undertakes simultaneous searching of multiple
sources using different protocols. Search statements are translated to
the appropriate search language of the Source and mapped to the semantics
of the Source. The appropriate protocol is used to conduct the search and
retrieve results. Results are re-formatted and transmitted to the Muse
user. Search results may be enhanced by secondary searches utilizing the
data from the primary search results. Results are merged and may be processed
and manipulated in a number of ways before being returned to the user.
Muse utilizes a number of protocols for connecting to other systems.
With Muse acting as a server, it accepts 'instructions' in http, Z39.50,
SOAP, LDAP, Telnet, XML, SIP, NCIP, OpenURL, and proprietary protocols.
When Muse acts as the broadcast search client, its Connectors allow
it to connect to Sources using all the above protocols and SQL, Lotus
Notes and other 'office/document' protocols. Muse recognizes record
formats appropriate to the protocols from 2709 MARCs through SUTRS
to XML and comma delimited.
Muse has been in active use since 2000 mainly used as a service component
by MuseGlobal's partners who incorporate it into their own products
as either a portal or a back end engine.
Muse Server supports Z39.50 v3 and functions Init, Search, Present,
Close. It is conformant to Bath at levels 0 or 1 across all areas,
with the proviso that its conformance depends on the capabilities of
the ultimate servers which it is searching. Supported formats: USMARC,
UKMARC, MARC21, DanMARC, NorMARC, SweMARC, CMARC, SUTRS, XML, DC. Unicode
character encoding. Returns diagnostic messages from bib-1 Diagnostic
Set.
Muse Client supports Z39.50 v3 and functions Init, Search, Present,
Scan, Close. Supported formats: UNIMARC, MARC21, SUTRS. Unicode character
